Conductors, Semiconductors, and Insulators

Conductors

A conductor is a material which permits a flow of energy. A material which allows the flow of charged particles is an electrical conductor. It freely allows the flow of electrons with very little resistance.

Water

Water is one good example of a conductor.

Copper

Copper is one good example of a conductor.

Metal

Metal is another great example of a conductor.

Semiconductor

Semiconductors are materials that do not allow electors to flow freely but don’t directly stop them either. More resistance than conductors, less resistance than Insulators.

A good example of a Semiconductor is silicone (used in computers chips).

Insulators

Greatly impede or stop the flow of electrons with very high resistance. It prevents you from getting chocked.

Glass

Cinderella must have been really safe when wearing those glass slippers because glass is a insulator so she can't get shoked

Rubber

If you are not lucky enough to get a fairy-God-Mother to bring you glass slipper you can still be safe with rubber slippers.

Air

Thankfully the air is a insulator unless is really humid.

Conections

If you pay close attention they are all connected they all are about keeping or letting go of energy. Is pretty much what they are all about they are all also somehow connected with resistance.
